In this episode, Chad and Jason row their dinghy back into the turbulent surf of our grim present, and wonder if their #hopepunk lamp can keep them off the rocks.

This episode, Jason and Chad put on their Hyperlab Coats ™ and concoct their own indeterminacy recipe loosely based on John Cage’s experimental work, Roaratorio, an Irish circus on Finnegans Wake.
A suggested title of our piece: Bibliomantis, a Dub Circus on Beowulf.
This is a weird ride. Hope you all enjoy, and please send us your sound experiments if you want to play along.

One of the first things that Chad and I agreed upon when we first started this project was how important sound and music is to our process of discovery. An essential ingredient to that process is the amazing music made by Nathan Moody. Nathan’s music is this rippling and rolling sonic river that transports you to another headspace as you listen to Chad describe his first UFO encounter or Jason’s memories of hunting for bigfoot.
That’s why we here at HLO are beyond excited to share Nathan’s release of the HyperLab Omni soundtrack. Please go and check it out (as well as his other fantastic work) and show him some love and support.
Strap on your ear goggles and follow along as the crew of HLO explores the minimalist soundscapes of John Cage. Chad and Jason ponder the challenges and joys of experimental music and avante-garde art as well as learning Chad’s hard rules for eating snacks in the theatre (Hint – DON’T!) and Jason’s simple wish for a magical algorithmic soundscape generator.
